Local housing stock
The median home in Alton dates to 1953, and 88.2 percent of the stock was already standing when the 1990s began. Brick on limestone-cut cellars and later frame on the lock-pool flats, a 1953 median with nearly nine in ten units standing before 1990, stepped from Melvin Price up the bluff through Leverett Place.
Climate & seasonal risk
May is the wettest month here at 5.46 inches, part of an annual 41.87 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from ALTON - MELVIN PRICE L&D, 2.6 miles off. May is the wettest month at 5.46 inches of a 41.87 inch year, recorded at the lock itself. On this pool that rain has no drop: the dam holds the river, the flats are fill, and a cellar cut into the limestone takes seepage from the bluff while the lock pool wets the terrace from the other side.
